I have a Colt preban small hole lower that came with a screw instead of the captive pivot pin. I am thinking of trying the following. Has anybody had any experience with them? Is it worth replacing the screw in pin with them?
Thanks in advance.
Don’t put KNS in a Colt.
That’s like installing plastic spinning hub caps with fake chrome on Mercedes. :rolleyes:
Is there a hold for a standard detent in the lower? Mine did not have this and I had to have S.A.W. convert it.
markm,
Any reason for not using KNS - you analogy is a little lost on me 
? Mine is not drilled for detent either. I do not want to send it out at this point.
Hmmm… your gun must be a 1996ish production. That’s what year mine was at least. Colt started drilling the holes later… even though they still came with that goofy screw set up.
I find KNS’s product line to be repulsive. It’s like using tinfoil to fashion a chrome pipe on a Harley. How does that analogy work?
There’s bound to be someone in your area who is qualified to do this modification.
Interesting. Both of my lowers are pre-ban as verified by Colt. A friend of mine managed to find a verified pre-ban that has the standard captive pivot pin.
Yeah. Colt was all over the place for a few years there. They’ve always produced good guns, but in the 90s the commercial guns seem to come with all kinds of different parts at different times.
